Thread: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa vs. Abner Mares in the works

Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa vs. Abner Mares in the works possibly as undercard of Casa-Marquez fight. This card is shaping as the most technical card in the making. Peñalosa is a master technician.

I pick Penalosa to beat Mares.

Bad fight for Penalosa. I see Mares dominating. To much youth and speed

I can't see Penalosa being dominated. He might lose but not dominated. Penalosa already has 6 losses but all of them via close decisions.

Mares is very smart for how young he is, But Penalosa is a crafty one. As we saw in the Gonzalez fight, Gerry is slow enough to be outboxed nowadays. Mares is an absolute master at finding angles I'd have to say this is a huge step up for Mares, I don't know that he's ready yet honestly, he hasn't been in within anyone that has a plan b and Penalosa always has a plan B.

50/50 on this one for me.

First time for everything. At this stage in his career a fight with the super quick Mares is a bad idea for Penalosa.

Yep Penalosa has troubles with quick boxers (specially if they're running away from him) but Mares never been with a boxer in Penalosa's caliber. Penalosa is old but he was still very impressive in his last fight against the tough Sor Vorapin and even stopped/TKO'ed the guy.
